challenging dark informative sad medium-paced

5.0

I listened to the audiobook which is read by the author herself. You can hear the emotion and passion on the topic in her voice. 

It was an incredibly graphic and horrific book to listen to but I could not stop listening. Jess manages to make a topic that is horrendous into a book you can’t put down. Her research skills are next level and the way she tells people’s stories with respect and dignity is commendable. 

I spent almost the entire time shaking my head and cringing in shame that we live in a world this horrific and that I didn’t have a clue about the extent of domestic abuse even slightly. It was eye opening and a very interesting listen. I have learnt a lot.
